We are devastated by the 8 month jail term handed to our client, climate activist Violet Coco. Appeal has been filed. Appeals bail will be sought as soon as possible at the District Court. Hang in there @VioletCoCo5
#auspol Lets fill up the prison system with our protests and block up all the roads of the people who don't want to listen. The #ClimateEmergency is real.
Really weak coverage of Violet Coco's case by @abcnews
Not a single human rights voice quoted or Violet's lawyer, but a quote from police calling climate protesters "nothing short of criminal" & the NSW AG labelling them "anarchists" - Not good enough ABC https://t.co/tQaIp8l5SO
Outrageous decision just now in a Sydney court
Climate activist Violet Coco given 15 month sentence, 8 months no parole after she blocked 1 lane of the Harbour Bridge for 25 mins in April
It's clear climate protesters are being targeted for disproportionate punishment @hrw
How is this not national news? Look at the reckless wanton destruction of yet more pristine rainforest in Queensland for logging. Mainstream media once again complicit via it's silence.

There is just something very aggressive, and disconcerting, #abc730 with the current presenter going hard on Marles over defence when the former presenter gave all the libs a free pass for years. #auspol#ThisIsNotJournalism#abcbias
DAN ANDREWS has reminded the violent anti-freedom groups demonstrating on the weekend that abortion is “a private matter between a woman and her doctor, and Victorian women are sick and tired of being told by blokes what they should do with their body.” #auspol
